trust me without dosbox a shit ton of stuff does not work anymore. heck even tons of xp software does not work on win 10 or needs patches (especially games) compat is dropped more and more, especially old cruft that is barely used.

Yeah, I went to install some older games in my Steam library, and some of my favorites need so much futzing, I just gave up. I considered building an XP machine, but gave up that for the same reasons. I'm just too old for this crap any more.
